They are beginning the renovations that will last until 2020, but there are still some fabulous wood furniture pieces that you can see in the mean time. This is still a worth while place to visit. They have an elevator and the whole place is...More

This museum is well done. The building includes the Public Hospital, the folk art Abby Aldrich museum, and the DeWitt Wallace. Confusing, and even this may not be entirely correct - but either way there is a lot to see. It is nicely done to...More

This is one of these things where you could stay all day and just take in their collection. When I went they were expanding it. I can't wait to see their newest editions. My favorite place was the antique furniture. They have a collection of...More

My 9 year old granddaughter and I stopped here as our last attraction after 4 days in CW and Jamestown. We were tired, but found the museum to be fascinating. She especially loved the toy exhibit and also the farm area where there are things...More

I was here just about a year ago, but came back to visit family and took a sister to see CW and the art museums. I enjoyed the museum this time around just as much as I did the first time (though I miss the...More

Loved seeing the different types of metal used in the 1700's. The grandfathers clocks and the mantels were so detailed and made you wonder how they did such detail in that time period.
The way they made furniture was interesting also.
We would go back.

We have visited Williamsburg many times over the years and a visit here can be an all day event. There are many folk area arts to view and the quilts have been displayed each time. If you have 2-3 hours to spend please do so and remember they also have a lunch area within the museum that is very enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Overall your plans look OK. Realize that crowd levels will help determine how much time you can spend at a building, so plan your must-sees and dos, as you will not have time to do everything. Priorities, you know. Do you have your tavern dinner reservations? Those are essential at this time of year. Also be aware that you cannot purchase carriage ride tickets until the morning of the day you wish to ride, and they do sell out. On day Three, I don't see a mid-day meal break, but you may be...More
